I have hatched two sets of chicks successfully but I am doing one now and did two batches two other time and those were duds. I am using the little giant deluxe incubator and do the water and temperature check daily it has the automatic egg Turner in it so don't have to work about that I take that out there days before Hatch date and turn up the temp I follow the direction for it step by step I have no idea what is going on with this but need to figure out I have someone who wants some from me but they keep dying and I don't know why!?!?!?? Is there a way to tell if there alive from in the egg of something there is no visual pipping or anything I don't want to candle now or should I? I am so new to this just need help please!!!!

You can float test them, just check thoroughly for pips, and place the eggs one by one into a large bowl of warm water, the bottom of the egg will float to the top and if the chick is alive inside it should start to wiggle.
 
Yes I turn up on lockdown
Asking why do you turn up temp at lockdown. That may be some of the problem with your hatching. And what directions tells you to do that.

Can you describe your incubating technique? As in, what temperature and humidity are you using, and have you double checked those with instruments you have calibrated or otherwise know to be accurate?
